For something a little different, how about a discussion of what not to do in life story writing?
What techniques or themes are so cliched, ineffective, disruptive, unintentionally humorous, or bad in some way that you just wince when you see them coming?
I'll start: Having the Big Reveal at the climax be that the narrator is the protagonist being talked about in the third person throughout the book: "And I know, because I was that little boy!"
